Subject: CCCC acquiring General Store Cafe

I feel it in the best interest of the county to have CCCC acquire the General Store Cafe for two reasons: 

1.  As a venue for Ellen Bland, director of acting at CCCC, whom I have had the pleasure to study under, who deserves a theatre.
 2.  As a venue for Chef Hamm, manager of CCCC’s Natural Chef Cafe and owner of Cafe 121 in Sanford,  whom I  studied under, whose knowledge of running a cost-effective restaurant is beyond compare.
